I remember an electrifying Bartok "Miraculous Mandarin" from Ozawa with the 2nd rank National Symphony of DC, but he was largely, even by then, a sadly prosaic and overhyped conductor.
@SFOtter it depends on the music. Have you heard his Mahler with Saito Kinen? Absolutely not prosaic and not overhyped by any means. The second symphony is on YouTube, somewhere.
Ozawa is one of the greatest. I remember when he was director of the Toronto Symphony in the late 60's. I went to the concerts with my parents and thought he was the greatest even back then> His career has been without equal - he must rank with von karajan and bernstein. Sorry to hear he has been diagnosed with cancer -hope it is not too serious
@bracrowe - I share your plaudits for Ozawa - I first saw him conduct the Toronto symphony at Massey Hall (1962 or '63 I think) He was Guest Conductor at the time, and I will NEVER forget the transformation of the orchestra when they played Tchiakovsky's 5th Symphony.Fabulous! I used to work at the Eaton's store on Yonge St (before the Eaton Centre opened!) and used to buy my tickets at at the Massey Hall Box Office during my lunch break & often snook in to watch TSO rehearsals. Memories!

Brillante y digna manera de iniciar este concierto conmemorativo, con esta obertura beethoveniana (y significativas imágenes), enaltecida por la Filarmónica de Viena y Seigi Ozawa
I played this piece w/ my high school orchestra but this austrian orchestra is quite an order higher caliber than mine. I don't like the conducting style but I like the music playing.
We can speak of Dr. Ozawa's prodigious accomplishments and talents, and they are gargantuan. When all is said and done, however, what he did for classical music in Asia will not be ascertained in a few moments notice. His work there remains immeasurable, for we know that he drew whole new audiences to the wolrld of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.
Seiji Ozawa is among the most brilliant conductors i've ever known (karajan bernstein) perfect conducting here of this wonderful masterpiece of classical music
일게 아시아인 지휘자가 백인들을 거느리고 이렇게 큰 무대에서 지휘를 하다니...내가 유일하게 존경하는 일본인.오자와 세이지. 항상 암보 지휘에 너무 나도 정확한 지휘 테크닉..관파트 연주자들 마디 안 세고 오자와 손만 봐도 언제 나올지 알수 있을듯..근데 이거 빈슈타츠오퍼 인가요?왜 플루티스트가 볼프강슐츠 이지???빈필 수석이신데...

The Vienna Philharmonic is beginning to show its age. It needs a new Principal fultist for sure.

This Bethoven's music is Mr.Ozawa's one of the best one in his.
